Seeing the three options before him, Habara could not help but fall into deep thought.

None of these three skills belonged to the Naruto World, and two of them came from a game he had played in his previous life.

As for the other one, if he remembered correctly, it seemed to come from that world where someone could punch a planet apart with one blow?

Although the origins of these abilities were indeed rather strange, he had to admit that he desperately coveted all three of them.

There was no need to mention the Sky Dance Technique. It allowed people to fly through the sky. After all, there were not many people in the entire Naruto World who could fly.

Secret Technique: Chidori was probably Electric Mouse's ability, but it seemed to have been modified after coming here. It was equivalent to every thrown Shuriken carrying the power of a Chidori.

Most importantly, even if he did not have the Lightning Style nature, acquiring this ability would naturally grant him that Chakra Nature as well!

"This is incredible. It's like getting a powerful ninjutsu and a Chakra Nature for free at the same time."

As for the final Glorious Evolution, it was clearly a passive skill. Yet, despite Habara not taking the 'Mechanical Ascension' route, it could actually enhance an ability!

Although the conditions were somewhat harsh, requiring Habara to kill his enemies to obtain some kind of Power Fragment, its effects were truly terrifying.

That meant Habara currently had the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, so he could use this ability to upgrade his Sharingan into the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"Could this count as a benefit delivered right to my door?"

Although he was in a terrible mood, faced with such a reward, he felt it was not entirely unacceptable.

After all, if he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, he would have at least some ability to protect himself within the clan.

Though time was short, he had to make an effort for the sake of his own life. He would never accept dying in this Ghost Place!

Skill acquired: Glorious Evolution Activation requirement: 100 Power Fragments required for activation Power Fragments: Jonin yield 25, Chūnin yield 20, Genin yield 10, ordinary enemies yield 1 to 5 Friendly reminder: Ninja Rank is unrelated to ninja strength. Please work hard, Host.

After Uchiha Habara made his choice, a system prompt panel quickly appeared in front of him once again. Upon seeing it, he instead let out a sigh of relief.

Having specific details made things much easier, and the final friendly reminder left him particularly energized.

As everyone knew, Ninja Rank and ninja strength were not the same thing. Uzumaki Naruto was still a Genin during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Likewise, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were only Jonin. Linking Ninja Rank to one's actual strength was the greatest misunderstanding, and also the biggest trap.

The Shinobi World did indeed use Chakra reserves and intensity to judge someone's approximate Ninja Rank, but that was merely for reference.

If someone's Chakra fell roughly within the Jonin range, then one had to face them with the mindset and preparations used against a Jonin. That was what mattered most.

"If we only consider Ninja Rank, then things become much easier. If that damned system had activated earlier, wouldn't it have been enough for me to join the Military Police Force directly?"

Uchiha Habara was a Mission Ninja. Although his talent allowed him to enter the Military Police Force, he had ultimately refused.

It was a way of protecting his reputation, because the Military Police Force was truly infamous throughout Konoha. He really had no desire to step into such a place.

But now, he regretted it somewhat, because there was an important place under the Military Police Force's jurisdiction: Konoha Prison!

The Military Police Force still had considerable authority. Although its reputation had collapsed because the Uchiha Clan had brought it upon themselves,

the Leaf High Command had used that excuse to continuously strip away the Military Police Force's power, yet Konoha Prison had always remained under its jurisdiction.

Perhaps that was meant to make the Military Police Force's reputation even worse. Konoha had been doing exactly that all these years.

"Joining the Military Police Force now just to get into the prison isn't realistic. Looks like I can only capture people myself."

Uchiha Habara sighed helplessly. For the sake of his eyes, he felt he should obediently go out and capture people.

With that thought, Habara rose directly to his feet and headed out the door. Before long, he arrived on the street.

Time was pressing, and he still had many things to do. There was no room for delay.

As he walked, he thought about whom exactly he should kill.

To be honest, the Shinobi World was vast, but there really were not many Jonin. After all, Jonin were already a village's Strategic Resource.

There were even fewer easy targets. No qualified Jonin was easy to Deal With, but he did think of someone—Aoi Rokushō.

That Kid had been in the same class as Uchiha Habara and the others. While in Konoha, he had only been a Chūnin, but after stealing the Sword of the Thunder God and defecting, he had obtained a Jonin post.

Such a person would be absurdly easy to Deal With, but the biggest issue was that the damned man had actually fled to Amegakure!

What kind of place was Amegakure? Was it somewhere he could go?

Jiraiya had gone there and died. If Habara went now in his weak state, would he not simply be delivering himself to his death?

"This really is troublesome."

Habara rubbed his brow as he walked. He truly had a headache—where was he supposed to find four Jonin to make up the number?

"What's troublesome, Habara?"

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded beside his ear, causing his body to stiffen slightly.

He silently cursed himself for becoming so engrossed in thought that he had failed to pay attention to his surroundings. If it had been an enemy, he would probably have been finished.

But when he turned and saw who it was, he could not help but relax slightly before revealing a smile.

"It's you, Shisui. You're back?"

That was right. The person who had appeared behind Habara was Uchiha Shisui.

Shisui and Habara had been in the same class, and they had competed with each other since childhood. But as they spent more time together, Habara discovered that Shisui was actually fairly easy to get along with.

Moreover, compared to Uchiha Itachi, this man was simply worlds apart!

At the very least, aside from his somewhat weak personality and his choice to commit suicide after encountering an extreme predicament,

he had not blindly favored either side between the village and the clan. His greatest wish was to preserve harmony between them, not to wipe out the clan for the sake of the village.

As for Uchiha Itachi, Habara sincerely disliked that self-righteous man.

Whether it was what he had done to the Uchiha Clan or what he had done to Sasuke, all of it showed that he always believed he could control everything.

Habara had interacted with him when they were young, but after Habara expressed some of his positions and attitudes, that man stopped paying attention to him.

But Shisui was different. He quite approved of Habara's idea that 'the clan and the village are one,' which greatly improved the relationship between Habara and Shisui.

And now that he had been forcibly bound to the clan, leaving him with No Way to escape alive, his opinion of Uchiha Itachi had become even more dissatisfied.

As for Shisui, Habara felt that he had to do something as well.

"After all, his ideals have not gone astray, and he will possess the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future. He is definitely someone I need to win over!"
